Issue that this hotfix package fixes

This hotfix fixes the following issue that is not previously documented in a Microsoft Knowledge Base article:

•

In PowerPoint 2007, when you use OpenType Compact Font Format (CFF) fonts for the text in 66 points or bigger, the text overlaps in an unusable way. When you reduce the size of the OpenType CFF fonts for the same text to 65 points or smaller, the text appears as expected. However, this issue does not occur either in Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003 or in other 2007 Microsoft Office programs.
